In Search for the Crown Jewels

It was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and there were street parties all over the country with lots of bunting (I love bunting) and Union Jack flags to celebrate the Queen and of course the 4-day-weekend.

A few days ahead of the actual jubilee my colleague Katie and I put on an event at work. We decided to dress up all "British", so I made a super quick (half-hour) skirt out of some cheapy supermarket flags for my appointment with the Queen.

We decorated our canteen with paper chains, flags and bunting - did I mention that I love bunting?

We put on a royal treasure hunt in search for the crown jewels, which people took very serious.

Everyone really seemed to really enjoy themselves and it was great fun for me and Katie to watch all our colleagues turning into little kids.

Last, but not least we hosted a crown making competition on the day. Have a look at people's entries and feel free to vote for your favourite below.
